ROB ASH, ON...
...the Sacramento State game: “Defensively, I was very impressed with two parts of the game. The first was after their first drive or two when we got adjusted to their run-game concepts, I thought we did a really good job shutting them down the rest of the half. The other part of the game that was really impressive defensively was after we threw the interception and they scored a touchdown the next three series for Sacramento State were all three-and-out. Our defense did a great job at that stage of the game shutting them down. Offensively, I liked a lot of the things we did. We were a little more explosive, had a couple more big plays. We just look for a little more consistency in the passing game.”
...the Bobcats’ offense: “My concept on offense has always been balance. We want to be able to run and throw both. We’re trying to evolve into an offense that has some bigger play capacity, taking our shots downfield and trying to soften the defense up. I’d like to be able to run the ball consistently throughout the game, but especially late in the game with a lead. We have to continue working on that, as well.”
...the Bobcats’ special teams: “We work hard on special teams, and I’m disappointed we haven’t had even more production. I thought our punt team had an excellent game this week. They tried to block a couple and had no luck, we had good coverage, Fisher punted for good average. We’re making some plays, and finally our hard work is paying off.”
...Northern Colorado: “Northern Colorado is a big, strong, physical team, and last year they gradually wore us down. We missed some early opportunities, and their size and strength was impressive. They hung around and played stronger as the game went along. They’ve been a hard-luck team this year, they’ve lost three games right at the end. They’re gaining confidence, and they’re much improved at quarterback with (Bryan) Waggener coming in from Florida, he’s done a good job. I see them as greatly improved, much more improved than what their record shows.”
